same here, i just need it for limewire now

Looking for Limewire alternatives? Try either of these:

Frostwire - http://frostwire.com

Cabos - http://cabos.sourceforge.jp

Glad to see the dudes at uTorrent got the kinks out of Unicode. Blazingly fast progress on their part.

I honestly don't see any reason why any Windows user shouldn't be using utorrent for their torrent needs. Not one single client compares.

Seriously.

No i prefer limewire over both these,as these both use java also. What i'm after is a limewire clone which is lite and doesn't use java, and uses the gnutella network. Don't think one exists, maybe ?torrent should make this, ?download:shiftyninja:a:

So I guess it's a Java-less Gnutella client with a Limewire-like interface you're after. Good luck. I'd recommend Gnucleus if you just want a lite Gnutella client. Just dump Limewire period, you're stuck with using old versions since the new versions filter out "illegal" content.

I top out at around 92 KB/s, the same speeds I got with BitComet. Honestly I don't see myself making another switch. I used Azureus up until a year ago when I switched to BitComet. Azureus was too much off a behemouth for my tastes. It's not like I'm running a relic, but if I can get comparable or superior performance with a smaller footprint I'm going for it. BitComet seemed like a good choice but I still saw it topping out at ~30 MB of memory usage. That became unacceptable to me when I saw uTorrent in October. I tried it, and slapped myself for not making the switch earlier.

So all you guys are experiencing faster/same speeds as BitTornado, Azureus etc?

Utorrent is the same in speed. The only problem is that it takes a bit of time to climb up to faster speeds because it connects to peers slower than other clients, to reduce CPU usage.

In this version, I think they adjusted the peers connection so it should be the same as Azureus.

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
    • Uh, after intense testing now, 'Samsung Browser' is not the best one outside of 'Microsoft Edge' after all. Opera Air is that. It has "some" bloat, but it's far less than what both Microsoft Edge and Brave browser have.
